RWBY: Honoo no Kokuin

People were gathered at the structure in the town square. It was a platform with hay on it and in the center of it was a stake with a female tied to it.

The woman's face was covered in her dark red hair so it was hard to make out her appearance. She had a nice hourglass figure, although, from the state of her rags, she hasn't had it easy for the last couple of days. Her stomach was also large, showing that she was not fat, but was pregnant. The thing that stood out, however, were the two bull horns sticking out of her head. This woman was none other than Anna Taurus Luis, a Faunus, a person with animal-like traits.

In front of the platform was what appeared to be a palace of some kind. Inside the palace, being guided in a wheel chair was a man in clothes that would make one think he was an emperor which he is. This man was King Fernando Valiante. Walking next to him were his wife, Queen Esmerelda, a beautiful blond woman, his son, Alfonso San Valiante, now at the age of three, and his advisor/prime minister, Mendoza.

Once the four made it to the balcony to oversee the burning, the people quickly took notice of the emperor.

"Look! It's His Majesty!"

More people quickly took notice of their ruler and called out his name. In return, Fernando waved to his people. Stepping forward, Mendoza spoke to the people.

"People! This...beast has been charged with the attempt to kill our King! As punishment, her sentence is death!" That got the people riled up as their ruler was a very kind man to them. Hearing that someone tried to kill him obviously made them very angry as they cried out for the death of the Faunus.

"Death by fire!"

"Burn the beast!"

"Die bitch!"

"Go to hell!"

And so on...

Seeing that the people wished for the Faunus' death, Mendoza turned to Fernando. "I'm sure you'll feel much better after the Faunus is punished."

"Indeed. It is too early for me to face God. I must live..." He looks at his family. "For my wife, and for my son." He had nothing against Faunus kind, he just simply could not die. If he did, he would leave his son without a father's love and he didn't want to do that to his child so he had to chose between him or the Faunus. The proof of his answer was in front of him.

While Fernando patted his son's head, Alfonso looked towards the stake which held the Faunus woman. He quickly then hid behind his mother's dress when he saw that the Faunus woman turned, almost as if looking towards him.

Fernando looks at his wife. "Esmerelda, can you please take Alfonso inside?"

"Of course dear." Esmerelda gave a quick kiss to Fernando's cheek before escorting her son into the building.

"I believe we've waited long enough." Mendoza said before he pointed his staff down at the woman, signaling a man with a torch to set fire to the hay, causing flames to slowly form around the woman.

The flames started to grow until they seemingly consumed the woman. The Faunus woman said nothing as her stake began breaking apart. Suddenly, she did move and when she did...a baby's cry can be heard from within the flames.

The people were absolutely speechless, including the kind and his advisor. Everyone could only stare at the flames as the cries of a child ran though the air.

Within the flames, in front of the woman was a newborn baby, healthy and protected in an orb of Aura. Everyone was startled and confused, not knowing what to do.

"What in Remnant's name..."Mendoza remarked, clearly not expecting this.

"My god..." Fernando remarked as well before hearing a wolfish snarl.

Turing around and looking past the king's guards, they saw an armored figure. Clearly a man, the armored man had a black bodysuit with silver plated armor over it. In his hands were two short swords attached with chains, said chains wrapped around the man's wrists. Emerging from his back was a green cape. The thing that stood out the most though was his helmet. The helmet was modeled after a wolf's head. A grille with a tiny head piece was placed above his bright yellow eyes along with his asymmetric ears, the right ear being longer than the other. This was Makai Knight Zoro.

Zoro stared at them before readying his blades and took off charging. He jumped over the guards, barely getting a scratch when one guard's weapon scraped against Zoro's helmet before landing, seemingly charging towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Mendoza got in front of Fernando and raised his staff in defense, but it did little as Zoro easily knocked him away. Instead of going after the kind like so many thought, Zoro instead leaped off the balcony and landed in the fire where the Faunus woman was burning.

Meanwhile, not too far from the town square, a portal opened and a silver armored horse appeared, leaping out of the portal before landing on the roofs and galloping towards the town square.

Inside the fire, Zoro picked up the baby. Upon closer look, we see some kind of markings on the left side of the baby. Zoro kept looking at the baby before looking up at the woman. In the raging fire, we can finally see the woman's face. She was beautiful. Her red eyes seemed to go perfect with her hair. Like a mother, the woman looked at her child with love before turning to look at Zoro. Without moving her mouth, Zoro knew that the woman, his wife, wanted him to look after their son, so he quickly teared a piece of his cape and used it to wrap the baby up. The silver horse then finally made it to the twon square, scaring the citizens. Seeing that his ride was here, Zoro with the baby leaped out of the fire and landed on his horse. Once Zoro was on, the horse started to gallop through the scared and frightened crowd of people. The horse jumped and galloped through the roofs until Zoro directed towards the lower parts of the kingdom.

"That man in the strange armor...is he an ally of the Faunus?" Fernando wondered.

"An ally of the beast makes him a knight of demons. No doubt, he must have been the one we had imprisoned in the dungeon." Mendoza stated before looking at the surprised soldiers. "What are you idiots doing!? Hurry and give chase!" The soldiers regained their calmness and did as told. "Have every man capable with a horse dispatched!"

Fernando laid against his chair. "Either way, he will nor be able to escape carrying a baby."

"I hope that to be the case." Mendoza said.

Fernando then started coughing.

"Your Majesty, you must rest. Please, leave everything to me." Mendoza said before looking at a remaining maiden. "Get him to his room!"

The maiden nodded and guided Fernando back to his room. Once the maiden and Fernando had left, Mendoza looked back at the burning stake.

"To do such a thing in exchange for your life..." Mendoza watched as the Faunus woman continued to burn. "Just watch. This is only the beginning. I will be sure to eliminate every last one of you."

Finally, the stake broke as woman fell into the fiery floor.

(17 Years Later)

Fire. That is the first thing anyone saw. Inside the burning shed stood one lone man.

The man was tall with red hair that spikes backwards in a windswept way. While most of his hair is red, a portion of it in the back is brown. A noticeable trait of his appearance is the mask he wears, which obscures his eyes and upper face. This mask is whitish-tan with red, Japanese style, flame-like symbols decorating the front, brown beast-like-ear pieces of cloth on the top of both sides, and two slits on each side, presumably to allow for vision. At the top of his head were bull horns, showing that he was a Faunus. He wears a long-sleeved black trench coat with slit sleeves and more red designs and a white symbol on the left side. His trench coat is red on the inside with red flame-like accents at the bottom and a large emblem on the back, with a white tulip design covered by a red rose design. He wears long black pants and black shoes that are red on the bottom, and black gloves with more red emblems on their forehand, appearing to be a variant of the Greek letter Ω (Omega), the last letter in the Greek alphabet. He also wears a black belt with white domino marks on it. This man was Adam Taurus Luis, the son of Anna that was executed 17 years ago.

Suddenly, the door was kicked down and a solder stepped in, sword ready. In response, Adam raised his own sword which looked like a plain light short sword akin to a Chinese Tai Chi sword.

"Took you long enough." Adam said.

"Are you the child of the beast?" The soldier asked.

"My name is Adam Taurus Luis." Adam said. "I have inherited the blood of ones who seal away Horrors like yourself." He then slowly raised his sword, cutting a circle of light above him.

The circle then opened up and shined down on Adam before golden pieces of armored emerged and attached themselves to Adam. Adam was now donned in a black bodysuit and was outfitted with golden plated armor, making him look like a knight. His sword had transformed from its simple-looking form into a long, golden broadsword with a matching sheath. At his waist was a triangle with a red center outlined in steel. His helmet was modeled after a wold and then he opened his eyes, revealing them to be red. Two scarves emerged from his back with a giant ring on each end. Them, suddenly, cracks started to appear on his left side as flames spewed from the cracks,, but Adam didn't seemed bothered by them. This was the legendary Makai Knight, the Golden Knight: Garo.

(BGM: Garo: Honoo no Kokuin OST-Leon Garo Shoukan)

"G-Garo!?" The soldier seemed to have recognized the armor as fear was evident in his voice.

Wasting no time, Adam charged at the soldier. Surprised, the soldier quickly raised his as both of them flew out of the burning shed, trading blows before Adam kicked him away. The soldier slid on his back before rolling back up while Adam landed on his feet with no problem as he sent on of his ringed scarfs at the soldier, trapping him before he threw him up into the air where he quickly followed and got in front of the soldier.

Up in the air, something was happening to the soldier. The soldier's body morphed into something hideous, resembling some kind of dinosaur with the head of a man. This was the soldier's true form, the Metaclim Horror. Using his tail which had an extra hand, he grabbed the burning shed and threw it at Adam. The burning shed hit Adam and he now found himself inside the burning building. Acting quickly, Adam jumped on any furniture and slashed anything that got in his way, soon, getting out of the burning shed before stabbing Metaclim in the forehead where it screamed in pain before falling down. Once Metaclim crashed, a huge cloud of dust blocked other soldiers visions. Once it cleared, the first thing they saw was Metaclim's face. They all yelled and screamed in fright before running for their lives, not even seeing Adam once the dust cleared.

Adam glared at the Horror, grinding his sword against his gauntlet. Once the Horror got back up on its feet, Adam charged towards it and the Horror met his challenge and charged towards Adam. Spinning around, Adam sliced off one of the Horror's leg before quickly slicing off the other on, making the Horror fall down, helpless. Adam stared at his armored figure trough a reflection on his sword before he got back to work, jumping in the air and stabbing the Horror on the back as it cried in pain again. Adam didn't show a single ounce on mercy as he stabbed deeper, making Metaclim cry out louder before he exploded. Once the dust had cleared again, all that was left was Adam, kneeling as his Garo Ken was stabbed into the ground.

(BGM End)

Adam stayed there, kneeling before he noticed the rising sun poking above the horizon. Getting back up, his armor disappeared as his Garo Ken returned to looking like a Chinese Tai Chi sword. Removing his sword from the ground, Adam sheathed the blade as he looked at the rising sun. The sun made him think of fire and when he thought of fire, he thought of his mother.

"Mother..." Adam muttered before looking to his left, hearing the sound of hooves as a man with two horses appeared.

The man was a blond man yet his beard was brown. He wore mostly white, with the exception being the aqua green scarf around his neck and his black boots. This man was Germán Luis, Adam's father and the Makai Knight Zoro: The Shadow Cutting Knight, the same one who appeared in the kingdom 17 years ago.

"You left me alone because you knew they were coming, didn't you! Dad!" Adam shouted.

"Call it the last of your training." Germán said. "You have to be able to handle this much at the very least."

"I thought I already told you I can handle myself."

Germán stares at Adam's mask. "Every time I look at your mask, I think otherwise."

Adam flinched when his father mentioned his mask as he fell completely silent.

Germán looked at his son before saying, "Pack your things."

Adam raised an eyebrow. "Are we finally going to Valiante?" Germán shook his head. "Then why do I need to pack my things?"

"Because I'm sending you to Vale."

Even with the mask on, one could already tell that Adam was surprised. "What!? Why am I going to Vale!?"

"Because I'm having you join an academy called Beacon."

Adam had only one thing to say.

"Huh?"

And done! So, what did you think? I know I basically copied most of the first episode of the Garo anime, but I had to start with something. This idea had been stuck in my mind for a while so I needed to get it out so I can focus on my other stories. If this does become a story in the future, I'm calling it right now, it'll be the first crossover story to have Adam as the main character. If I'm wrong, just tell me. All I have left to say is, Blake better be ready for one hell of a surprise. This has been Ashbel Longhart here signing out.
